I think they're pretty similar. XII seemed like the logical expansion of the FFX ideas. A bit more open and some additional paths but still linear enough.

Yeah and nobody will make a thread about that quote.
Can't be too positive.
I think it's because journalists asked him if development would be faster and the natural assumption for him is 2 years and maybe less, which efficient doesn't really mean that lol
Just give the Highwind a warpdrive, though I demand to be able to explore it still
It's very important in proving the OTP is canon afterall

Hopefully it's a meaty enough interview.
It'd be nice if he confirmed the next showing of the game.

No manual jumping here, so he's gonna be a camper in the Remake :p
I'll take slow walking and dodging with an extended one arm shooting stance. So stylish...
I can't wait for people to upload to Youtube their own recreations of the new songs without dialogue and all.
I remember listening to XV's recreations from TGS 2014.
God it just hit me that he's going to be so much fleshed out here, seeing as everything is getting an expansion and he's most definitely not going to be optional in the Remake.

That's cool too.

iirc in Easy Allies they talked about sprinting, so I wonder which button that is if R3 is for locking enemies on. Maybe you just get to sprint if you run enough time.
I swear people just don't apply common sense enough when it comes to FF.
Square bungles more often then I'd like, but I think we can give SOME benefit of the doubt that they have some idea on how they're developing their enormous multi-part billion-plus dollar Remake series beyond "Iunno, let's just wing it".

I hope that this remake keeps the dieselpunk aesthetic. The two bosses we saw make it look like they are keeping the older designs. I was worried that they were going to try and make things look more sleek and futuristic, but I think the big-engine clunky design of the machinery is important to the environmental story they're telling.
Change nothing. In fact, keep some enemies with no textures.
Is there anywhere we can read about demo impressions so far? Or are they speckled over the past day in this thread?
Excited to see his take on it.
Man, I wish I could play it now goddamnit.
Brought this up in Discord, but check out her expression when Cloud tells her to "get going".
She doesn't look scared, but determined. This leads me to believe this is the part where Cloud and Tifa send her off to pick up Marlene. She isn't being sent away because she can't fight. In fact, she has her staff out looking ready to fight her way to 7th Heaven.
Also you forget but Aerith asks Cloud to help her in the church
Asking for help isn't out of her character
Asking for help isn't out of her character
This something that the REmako mod (I think that's the name) did. You got to the support and switch to Aerith who runs back to her house with Marlene.
There's a part in the train graveyard and she's in there (it's when the trailer shows one of her special attacks), so I don't think Cloud would send her so early to get Marlene.
Or maybe he did (for whatever reason he wants to assure her safety before discovering AVALANCHE fighting Shinra and putting the slums at risk) and it's just that Cloud and Tifa eventually catch her up.
I've considered the possibility a bit back that certain sequences/areas could play out of order.
The train graveyard could take place before the sewers, for instance. Unlikely, but I still expect some moments that get shifted around for pacing reasons.
I don't think someone asking for help makes it out of character
More about the how than the what.
I remember when the baddies stormed her church. She asked for help there, but she had a kind of strength and sense of humor about it. At least as far as I remember.
Not sure if this was already shared or not but the CE is on display and this thing is quite impressive.
Oh, for sure. I also wonder about that, although I feel that that particular "sewers-->graveyard" order is going to be respected.
BTW, it seems (according to those who played the demo) that the layout for the first reactor is almost identical to the original game, but with new transitional places connecting the "old" areas (iirc the original did skip many of those "in-between" places). I wonder if that's going to be as frequent as they can make it, although we're bound to find exceptions. Like the sewers; they look massive now so that probably doesn't apply there that much.
I'm really curious about the transitions between inhabitable places tbat are relatively safe (slum villages and the like) and hellish landscapes with weird creatures roaming free (the graveyard, the abandoned park...).
Ha! Saw them play this live way back in '96 (show also had Type O Negative and Ozzy). Great show!
So I've been watching Strange Rebel Gaming videos and... Briana has a very friendly voice (but has enough sass to make it entertaining). Really looking forward to her portrayal of Aerith. I hope S-E's English VA director lets her have fun with it.
I know. What really got me was that it was roughly 40+ dollars (for me at least) to get 'overnight' delivery, which I read as overnight delivery date of release. It was NOT a cheap CE at the end of the day!
Something I really like about the battle system in this is that it really feels like it could be just as easily ported over to remaking FF8/9 or Parasite Eve. Reeeeeally great, flexible, modern-but-old-school interpretation of the old ATB system.
Just as the old atb was basically reused again in again with older FFs, I too see that being very possible for this with future projects.
This really satisfies seemingly most old atb fans while appealing to action oriented players, and it seems great. No reason to reiinvent the wheel anytime soon imo. This could definitley help get out FF games at a more regular pace.

I hope they go full creepy and horror at the end of the shinra headquarters. I still remember playing that part and being creeped out by the trail of blood... and that music! Same for the train graveyard.
And another random thought: what if they incorporate the entire Kalm scene in part 1? Because for the rest of the game there's nothing to do in Kalm, you only go back there to hand over the desert rose. So I could easily see them replacing Kalm with a new sector in Midgar.

Glad I got it pre-ordered. I need to get the Play Arts Kai Sephiroth to go with it.
Ditto. Betting that this game will end up being 3 parts, with Pt. 2 being Aerith and Pt. 3 being Sephiroth. THAT would be so awesome in my opinion.
I'd say going the XII and XV route would be nice. Big open broken up segments with additional features/locations
diorama style would be cool i think. would be the closest to the original imo.
Guys what is happening, i literally cannot stop thinking about this since Monday.
Before i was 10/10 excited of course, but also kinda worried.
Now my brain remembers moments from the game like "Oh man i wonder how climbing the Wall will look like" and then goes "OHMYGODHOLYFUCKINGSHITTHEFUCKINGWALLDUUUUUUUUUDE".

I was at first going to come in like "Anyone find it weird that items are tied to ATB...", but then I thought about it for 2 more seconds and was like.... That's lowkey genius.
I think this gives a bit more of a fair challenge that you have to wait for an ATB bar to be filled before using an item to prevent you from just spamming a bunch as soon as possible. And I guess that's sort of how it is in OG FFVII too. You can't do anything with a character until the atb bar is filled after all.

It does beg the question how they'll balance Aerith being capable vs requiring constant protection.
Like if she can whip out huge spells like we saw in the trailer footage, why would she need Cloud doing a Donkey Kong impression to rescue her from Shinra mooks?
Yeah, was thinking that myself. I think you could rent a car that would work like the Regalia too.
Oh there's a FFVII ERA Discord server? I'd be interested in joining.
yeah it's basically turn based but instead of waiting around you can do chip damage, evade/block attacks and move around. really like what they are doing. no spamming potions or ethers, no hacking and slashing your way to victory.
that was her limit.
It has been confirmed by the guy who was on stage ( totally forgot his name, the translator ) the first part of this remake will end with the escape from Midgar.
